Inc ptUtG cOUIWUC reports the
Wood county fair as great success,
and says that this eflectually puts a
stopper on the claim that bar-room
is a necessary adjunct of n county
fair.
1t is said of Senator Riddiqberger,
of Virginia, that he bought for 500
the right to sell liquor on the Shen-
andoah fair grounds and then closed
the building previously used for a
bar room, declaring that no intoxi-
eating liquors could be sold during
the fair. He meant bushes in the
right direction.
1t speaks well for the appointing
power of the Weston Asylum that
a lady physician is to be in attend
ance. DR.. Hattie Jones, of the w.
c. T. u, will doubtless reflect credit
upon the profession and we trust
will do much to bring about reform
in the matter of treating patients
and guests with liquors. We con-
graduate the institution. Were
there more women in such places
there would perhaps be less cause
for scandal and corruption W. @.

The simple matter of a boys
being trained to be orderly may
seem of very slight moment in
determining the happiness or
unhappiness ofhis future home, but
at least every house wife with a
careless husband will appreciate its
importance in practical living. a
lad accustomed to have sisters or
servants pick up whatever he
| chooses to leave about will come
some day to be a constant vexation
to the tidy soul Of his spouse, when
he might almost as easily haye been
taught to aid rather than to destroy
the neatness and order of his home.
The mother who allows her son al
ways to consider his own interests
and never to feel that the comfort
and wishes of those about him are
his affair is preparing a husband
who will some day render miserable
through sheer thoughtlessncss any
sensible woman who links her
destiny with his,-E,c.
In the IO'ca Messenger, one of
the best w. c. 7. u. papers we
know, we find the following con

1t is said the parties having the
cheer privilege" on the Nebraska
fair grounds at Omaha, took in one
day more than s., 1000. 1t makes
the heart sick to contemplate the
waste, the hurt, the wrong represent

of young men and boys thronging
about those beer stands makes a
mothers heart throb with pain; the
money spent by fathers of families
on that fair ground that day meant
privation and hardship for wives
and little children on future days,
the hurt to physical and mental
manhood can not be computed, and
the soul hurt to men and boys only
God knows. But Nebraska per

AS trying as it may be to a sensi-

Gates good common sense more
surely than the courage to break of
an engagement when she becomes
convinced that her affianced is un-

wretched, miserable life. Pride in
this matter has induced many a
worthy girl to throw herself away
upon some young man whom She

to obey it is doubtless the one
promise which has been enforced
